Notes About The Poem

For 1456 Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

Take Me to Where Love Learns

Love tried hard, one day, and overcame fear
and learned that, often, gentle hearts will break.
Even if one's aim is true and sincere, 
he can still be in for a sad heartache, 
and so, love, hung his head, and cried a tear.
and thought that he'd made a dreadful mistake, 
saying, "I'll disappear and shut the door.   
Take me away to where love learns no more."

But, love's learning was not even near through.
He learned about patience and forgiving, 
and discovered when he finds the right two, 
and they engage in receiving and giving,
just the way it was between me and you,
that life is worth more than just living.
So now, he says, "Don't ever close the door. 
I've decided, take me to where love learns more."
